I have looked around on the net for hours looking for this answer so I apologize if its there somewhere. This script below works fine except for the fact that it returns the .DS_Store file how can I exclude it from this query and all other hidden files for that matter but because I am creating the folder in my script the only one there is .DS_Store
tell application "System Events" set listOfInputs to POSIX path of every disk item of folder a as list end tell
Here is the full script below. I have been dropping files into the in folder after it is created but will eventually prompt for files before it is created.
on run
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists folder "IN") then
make new folder at desktop with properties {name:"IN"}
end if
if not (exists folder "OUT") then
make new folder at desktop with properties {name:"OUT"}
end if
end tell
set theINfolder to path to the desktop as string
set a to theINfolder & "IN:"
tell application "System Events"
set listOfInputs to POSIX path of every disk item of folder a as list
end tell
set inputs to listOfInputs
set theOutfolder to path to the desktop as string
set outputFolder to theOutfolder & "OUT:"
set params to {}
main(inputs, outputFolder, params)
end run
